Dual support of "policy technology" for humanoid robots towards "big space"

2023-09-15

Jump up the steps with both feet and walk steadily on grass and muddy roads; The "fingers" freely grip the bottle, grasp the delivery basketball, and even skillfully pull coffee flowers; With the support of the artificial intelligence model, upon hearing the command of "thirsty", one can turn around and walk to the refrigerator to take out a can of beverage and hand it to humans... Currently, humanoid robots with smart minds and flexible limbs are becoming a new race track for future industries. Industry insiders believe that humanoid robots are the epitome of information, manufacturing, materials, energy, life and other technologies, involving new fields and high technological content. Their innovative development contains enormous productivity potential and is expected to drive the continuous emergence of new economic growth points. With the dual support of policies and technology, humanoid robots have huge application space in industries, healthcare, home services, and other fields. It is expected that by 2030, the market size of humanoid robots in China is expected to reach approximately 870 billion yuan. In the laboratory of Data Robotics Co., Ltd., the "skeleton" of the humanoid robot "Xiaojiang" is displayed, with over 40 flexible joints scattered throughout the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, waist, knees, and other parts of the body. They are the key to solving the problem of traditional robots' excess rigidity and insufficient flexibility. Like humans, joints determine the flexibility of robots. Every joint is inseparable from computing, communication, and sensing. Huang Xiaoqing, founder of Data Company, told reporters that referring to the design concept of smartphones, the company has independently developed intelligent flexible joints, achieving technological breakthroughs in multiple aspects such as mechanical structure and core algorithms. Integrating originally independent components together is like integrating many chips onto a single circuit board. Not only should joints be more flexible, but full body motion control is also crucial. In the laboratory of the School of Control Science and Engineering at Zhejiang University, the humanoid robot "Wukong 4" can jump up and down a 0.2 meter high step and land smoothly, as well as up and down a 25 degree slope and 10 centimeter step. Associate Professor Zhu Qiuguo from the School of Control at Zhejiang University introduced that the "Wukong 4" robot has achieved three-dimensional environmental map construction and autonomous dynamic navigation, enabling it to adapt to various terrains such as outdoor roads, grass, and muddy roads. The increase in range of motion, strength, and speed means that robots have higher flexibility, and walking like humans is an important step in exploring practical applications, "he said. At present, a group of domestic and foreign enterprises are accelerating the layout of humanoid robots. In October 2022, Tesla officially unveiled the prototype of the Optimus Optimus robot, the Optimus Prime. At the recently held 2023 World Robotics Conference, companies such as Xiaomi, Ubisoft, and Yushu Technology showcased humanoid robot products. According to the International Robotics Association, the global humanoid robot market will experience a compound annual growth rate of 71% from 2021 to 2030. According to data from the China Electronics Society, the market size of humanoid robots in China is expected to reach approximately 870 billion yuan by 2030. However, it should also be noted that there is still a lot of room for exploration in the current technological level of humanoid robots. Just walking like a person is a challenge for the industry, and a complete industrial ecosystem has not yet been formed. The entire industry is in its early stages of development. Robots need to be made into 'humans'
